Around the world, there are many criminal operations where illegal goods, services and other contraband move across borders. In "Black Market: Dispatches," actor Michael K. Williams -- who played a criminal mastermind in the HBO drama "The Wire" -- embeds himself within groups that are involved in some of these black-market activities in an attempt to show people what really happens in the criminal enterprises. Over the course of the series, viewers are introduced to the likes of darknet drug dealers and counterfeiters as the show explores the politics and motivations behind the hidden operations.
